Dates Series 1 (Channel 4) Review - Mia & David

The final episode of Channel 4’s strange little mating anthology series Dates was titled ‘Mia & David’, but it could have just as easily added Stephen to that mix also. This final 20-minute adventure was about the love triangle that seems to have developed over the last three weeks, with the ever-mysterious and seductive Mia at the centre. But now it’s crunch time, and she suddenly loses a little of her usual control.
We start with a planned date between Mia and David, meant to be the day she meets his children for the first time, but her reluctance to be around kids and commit to one man mean that David leaves pretty sharpish. We don’t know whether the introduction was Mia’s idea, as David attests, or whether it was something he pushed upon her just 18-days after their first date, but something puts Mia into self-destruct mode. After David bolts, she calls Stephen for comfort and is shocked when he brings along his own 11-year-old son.
